Recent articles about Case McCoyen-usTexas Football: Strong defense needed for successThe Texas Longhorns have deserted a disappointing 2013 season and have made changes that look to propel them back into the traditional program that is known for winning. Before the winning can take place Charlie Strong will have to make vast improvements in the Longhorns defense that the country saw last year.
The Longhorns defense was anything but impressive last year. It was a crew that gave up an average of almost 26 points per game, ranking them 56th in the country. In all five losses they gave up at least 30 points. Charlie Strong and the Texas staff are aware that things need to drastically change on the defensive side of the ball if Texas football wants to return to a powerhouse program.
Charlie Strong knows how to build a sound defense as he has done so as the defensive coordinator at Florida and head coach at Louisville. Last year at Louisville, Strong created a defensive masterpiece that would end the year ranked 3rd in the country in scoring defense, giving up 12 points a game. His defense gave up16 Feb 2014 18:44:51 -0500http://network.yardbarker.com/college_football/article_external/texas_football_strong_defense_needed_for_success/s1_7899_15801733

Expectations were high since he was the little brother of the great Case McCoy, but he was more or less a back up for most of his career. When he did finally get the chance to play this past season he actually looked pretty good at times (i.e. Oklahoma).Since his college days are behind me that leaves one question--can he make an NFL roster?From Bleacher ReportThere is no way he gets drafted. He simply didn't play well enough for a long enough period of time to warrant even being Mr. Irrelevant. However, when he did get a chance to play last season he looked pretty good and not just against the crappy teams.Statistically he never really lit it up. He was more of a game manager, but in all fairness he did a good job of managing the game against some tough competition, i.e. like Oklahoma when he went 13-21 for 190 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception.Yeah, you can say that the defense had a lot to do with that 10 Feb 2014 01:15:00 -0500http://network.yardbarker.com/all_sports/article_external/can_former_texas_longhorns_qb_case_mccoy_make_an_nfl_roster/s1_11533_15750350

Drastic changes were made at Texas when Mack Brown went 30-21 his last four seasons, failing to finish the season in the top 25 three of those four years. Despite Coach Brown’s unsuccessful last few seasons, he had a reputation of being an excellent recruiter and a winner. Young players around the country had an admiring respect for Coach Brown and looked to him as the face of Texas football. With Coach Brown out, Charlie Strong had to quickly assemble a team of coaches that could carry on the tradition of Longhorn football.
Brown led Texas to its first national championship since 1970 (USATSI)

The Denver Broncos will be taking on the Seattle Seahawks in what should be a brutal battle between the game’s record-breaking Broncos offense versus the sensational Seahawks defense. It is a special moment for these two teams, but it is also a big day for the Texas Longhorns.
The Super Bowl will feature three former Longhorns. Earl Thomas, Michael Huff and Quentin Jammer each play on the defensive side of the ball and will be looking to seize their first Super Bowl ring.
Thomas plays safety for the Seattle Seahawks and has been a major contributor for the Seattle secondary. Thomas has had a spectacular season that earned him All-Pro honors. He recorded 105 combined tackles, two forced fumbles and five interceptions. His secondary is known as “The Legion of Boom” and has a reputation for “trash talking.” When asked about it in his Super Bowl interview he stated, “We’re not trash talking, we’re feeding off our o31 Jan 2014 18:32:10 -0500http://network.yardbarker.com/college_football/article_external/texas_longhorns_in_the_super_bowl/s1_7899_15680240

The Texas Longhorns travel to take on the West Virginia Mountaineers in Morgantown this Saturday night at 7 p.m. on FOX.
West Virginia (4-5, 2-4 Big 12) snapped a three-game losing streak with its 30-27 overtime win at TCU last Saturday, while Texas (6-2, 5-0 Big 12) is on a five game winning streak and looking to make it six in a row with a win over the Mountaineers.
The Longhorns were able to overwhelm their opponent last week which was Kansas, and they did stay the course and are still undefeated in Big 12 play.
Last week, Senior quarterback Case McCoy made his fifth start in place of injured quarterback David Ash, he went 20-of-29 for 196 yards, while running back Malcolm Brown carried the ball 20 times for 119 yards and 4 touchdowns.
The Longhorns are favored to win the game by a touchdown according to the experts. The Texas win streak is now their longest since the 2009 team07 Nov 2013 19:06:33 -0500http://network.yardbarker.com/college_football/article_external/west_virginia_football_texas_game_preview/s1_7899_14997017

Case, who is a quarterback at the University of Texas, apparently had been duped by a fake ESPN Twitter account that said his brother had been traded to the Eagles. He sent the following tweet, which has since been deleted:
Brandon was a reference to quarterback Brandon Weeden, who was drafted by the team in the first round this year. Weeden is expected to replace McCoy as Cleveland’s starter.
It didn’t take long for Case McCoy to realize he made a mistake.
That is… If these rumors are true!

Fake ESPN accounts are nuts… Got me fired up over nothing! Still kinda meant what I said :/

Case then spent some time on Saturday apologizing for his negative comments about the Browns.
